Coach add on in Lucan
Liam McCarthy has joined the staff of the Lucan Irish of the Provincial Jr. Hockey League as its goalie coach, Hockey News Windsor has confirmed.
The 22-year old McCarthy played AAA minor hockey with Lambton and Elgin-Middlesex before moving up to be a goalie with three teams in the PJHL and stints with squads in the Northern Ontario Jr. Hockey League and Superior International Jr. Hockey League.
In going to Lucan as its goalie coach, the hiring of McCarthy further solidifies the coaching staff for the Irish ahead of the 2024-2025 PJHL season.
Slated to return to the Lucan bench for the ’24-25 PJHL campaign are associate coach Will Eros and assistant coach Zack Wilson. Meanwhile, Ben Van De Peer, formerly of the North Middlesex Stars of the PJHL, has been tapped as the new head coach in Lucan. And Jeremy Van Bergen is on board as an assistant coach in Lucan after previously coaching the Exeter Hawks of the PJHL.
